Thanks to Snakas Blog and Amazon Japan fans now have photos of an unexpected release: "Armada" Unicron in a new deco representing the combined form of all the Mini-Cons who fought the real Unicron at the end of "Armada"! Originally this figure was released in 2004 as a "Lucky Draw" in Japan, making it a rare item. Now the deco is being resurrected in spirit (read: it’s not exactly the same) as an Encore release! According to Amazon Japan, this item costs ¥21,600 (about $195 USD) and ships December 22, 2018.

"Encore" Unicron is currently up for pre-order via BigBadToyStore. More news on this as it becomes available!
